Dilemna

I had anal intercourse this afternoon with a partner. I put a condom on his penis and he proceeded to have sex with me in the doggie style position. *I could not see if he was wearing the condom. After we finished, he threw the condom in the trash. Later that day, I had an anal discharge, which I would describe as semen. I thought about the situation and am pretty sure he had taken the condom off while we were having sex. I asked the guy about the situation, telling him I thought the condom broke. He said, "No I checked the condom. We were good." I asked him about his status. He said that he gets tested regularly.

Should I be concerned about being positive. What is the chance of one incident of possible unprotected sex leading to HIV?

chances are somewhere around 1/1000 from a one time incident of anal sex with a HIV + individual.

since you are not sure if the condom was worn throughout the experience...then i would test just to be on the safe side.  a test at 6-8 weeks post possible exposure will give you a good indication...and the result is unlikely to change.  but according to guidelines...you must follow that up with a test at 3 months for a conclusive result.
